Tom of Holland

Let it be known: Tom van Deijnen invented Visible Mending. When I (Kate) thought I'd come up with the term and first googled it, I found Tom had already got there, and has been Visibly Mending for quite some years. A visionary self-taught textiles practitioner, based in Brighton, UK, Dutch-born Tom prefers the woollens, and is a magician of a knitter. We are proud to feature him here--and grateful to have his blessing on our Brooklyn-based Mending world.
